Swapping cutlery for chopsticks also helps slow down eating so the brain can catch up with the stomach, a trick which can also be achieved by eating with the non-dominant hand.

Try to eat slowly and mindfully, and yes that means turning the TV off, he added.

Eating with the TV on is one of the worst things you can do in terms of increased consumption. Finding that people eat 15 per cent more food with the telly on as compared to when it is off is not unusual. The danger is we simply fail to pay attention to food-related stimulation.

The next time you find yourself eating in front of the TV or computer think carefully about what you are doing. Mindful eating and drinking is important in terms of increased enjoyment and quite possible increased satiety too.

Other tips include:

Hide food - it really is a case of out of sight out of mind. Anything you can do to make food difficult to get will help cut calories.

Split up the portions - cut a pizza or cake into six pieces rather than four

Drink more water - half a litre 30 minutes before lunch reduces meal consumption by an average of 40 calories

Eat in front of the mirror - or from a mirrored plate to consciously acknowledge how much you are eating and what types of food
